What a wonderful place, it's hard to describe how lovely this place is, set on the side of lake Atitlan. The apartment is clean, tidy and tastefully decorated. The owner Pierre is helpful and accommodating and the staff on site are all friendly and helpful too.

Pierre has clearly worked hard to create something he is very passionate about.

Walkable to San Marcos and only a short boat ride to neighbouring San Pedro or Panajachel plus other little towns. The walk down to the boat is a little steep and the walk back up feels steeper! but who is in a rush!!

Only stayed here for a few days before going home, would've been very easy to stay longer. Very tranquil and picturesque.

Oh and there is even wifi included just in case you can't be without it!

“Hope we can return again in the future!” (our rental was Ushuaia Loft July, 2015)

Our visit and stay at Pasaj-cap has been beyond amazing! Pierre is a professional and gracious host, and we have been so blessed to have been allowed to partake in his little piece of heaven / paradise. He knows when to “pop-in” for a visit to you and when to leave you in solitude. He is a master architect, artist, landscaper, craftsman, etc. Anyone who meets Pierre and his hand-picked staff will be warmly greeted and well-treated. The vista that we enjoyed from our full windows was breath-taking at 5:30 a.m.; as well as at 7:00 p.m. After travelling from San Pedro to Panajachel, I do believe that one has the best view of the volcanoes at Pasaj-cap. I actually may have taken more photos of Pierre’s lovely surroundings than anywhere else on the Lake Atitlan! Whenever we needed anything, Pierre was there to help us from our home in the states, as well as when we arrived to San Marcos. He is a true “caballero,” and we hope he and his family are blessed with great health and happiness for the future.

we are staying here for 3 Months and booked this on previous recommendations, I am so glad we did it is absolutely lovely waking up to the views of the volcano and the lake. The apartment has everything you need all the utilities that's essential in the kitchen and more. We swim in the lake every other day, sunbath on one of the many sun loungers around the property, walk into San Marcos every day to visit the market for fresh veg and herbs also we stop at one of the many bars for a beer or for lunch. Once a week on a Tuesday we go into Panajchel to go to the bank, the market which is fantastic and again just chill having a beer watching the world go by, the restaurants are great you will find your favourites as we have and the prices are good not quite as cheap as people say when you add on drinks but compared to Europe it's cheaper. We also take the boat to most of the villages like San Pedro, San Marcos and Panajchel as this is the cheapest and fastest way to travel, it is worth knowing that the boat back from Panajchel in the afternoon can get a bit bumpy so if you have back problems sit nearer the back of the boats. Also most of the property along the lake is high on the hill side and due to the high altitude if you have a problem climbing or if you get breathless you may want to think of a rental that has not got the climb but saying this even though the steps on this property are steep Pierre the owner has put little bench stops all the way up so like us we just take our time and it's not an issue. San Marcos is mostly a holistic village and it is not easy to just go and buy meat as in chicken or beef as mostly its very strong on vegetarian foods but Pierre sells meat and fish on the property along with wine, it might be frozen meat/fish but it's delicious when cooked. Fresh meat is available in Panajchel which is 30 minutes by boat from here. I also must say on the food front that there is a weekly Bbq in San Pedro called smoking joes which is fantastic so you must go there and try it, great steak, veg and corn bread, all the Tuktuk drivers know it and cost is 10q which is nothing in fact getting around by Tuktuk is easy and cheap. Overall this is a fantastic place to visit with lots to do and see especially if you like climbing and sightseeing and eating out. We love the staff on the property, they are so friendly and genuine as is Pierre the owner and not forgetting the four dogs which are part of the family, yes we just love all of it and can highly recommend this rental, we will definitely be back, we are currently staying in the Nasca house which is fab.

The entire property very tastefully & brilliantly designed by the owner, Pierre, who cannot better himself as a host. That too goes for the entire staff. My husband & I spent 4 weeks in Copacabana & couldn't have been more content. Our private rooftop patio with 2 chaises & another hammock an added plus. We'll be chewing the cud of our stay - including the spectacular views from every single part of the loft - for years to come. It will be near impossible to beat the splendour & tranquillity of Pasaj-Cap, which is to say: we'll be back! Please read more of the reviews; I'll simply be repeating what has already been said. Only: if you're someone who wants 'nightlife', Pasaj-Cap may not be for you. But if your batteries require recharging in a serene location, do reserve your bit o' heaven immediately if not sooner!

The house on Lake Atitlan was very nice. It had a large, fully equipped kitchen; comfortable bed; spacious bath with plenty of hot water. The little villages around the lake were very interesting to visit -- especially San Juan. And you could not beat the great view of the lake and the volcanos!

Pierre has built a wonderful place. The view of the lake and volcanoes is fantastic. Pierre is a gracious host. There is a variety of accommodation but all the guests I talked to were very happy with their lofts, cottages, etc. the grounds have lots of trees, hangout places, the air is clean. there is a nice mix of guests, some long term, some short. there is a daily happy hour on the rooftop with comfy pool loungers. Friday, there's a potluck. many folks enjoyed swimming from the dock. the lake is clean there.The nearby village of San Marcos is a 5 minute water taxi ride away. They come by every 20 minutes or so. otherwise there's tuk tuks or a 20 minute walk. San Marcos is a lovely little treed village with narrow lanes, good reasonably priced restaurants and every type of New Age service imaginable and possibly then some...
